If you mean novels, The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien. If we can stretch the definition a bit, I'll toss in The Odyssey and Macbeth.

MYLESHitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
I had to have read about 30 pages of that but it didn't seem to catch me as anything so amazing. Out of interest, care to explain what it is about the book?

Infinite Jest, The Stranger, The Pale King, Gravity's rainbow, and White Noise are all up there. I'd give it to IJ every day of the week though.
The Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison deserves a mention as well, and as cliched as it is I'd also put Heart of Darkness on any top 10.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead, No Exit, and Waiting for Godot for top plays.

A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is one of my personal favorites.

Michio Kaku's "Hyperspace" is the best non-fiction I've read so far this year. It's got some REALLY cool theoretical physics that's made as accessible as possible for the average reader. If you like to think about higher dimensions and time travel and parallel universes, Kaku can explain it as well as anyone.
